Partial excision of the kidney may be sufficient when there is localized disease. The parenchyma of the diseased lobe is resected from the capsule by blunt dissection and the blood supply to that lobe is identified, ligated, and divided.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Direct forward or 0-degree vision is useful in viewing the urethra and for use with the urethrotome.
